I’m hoping that the success of the original movies this year will lead to more.

Also, crazy how people have already forgotten about Sinners. That’s how great this year has been.

Ummm, isn’t Bugonia a remake of a Korean movie? Definitely not original.

Saw it in the cinema, it was really good.

Was fun to see DiCaprio in a slightly different role than he usually plays.

Meanwhile at Warners: “HBO needs more doctor/lawyer/cop shows. Oh and let’s rehash Harry Potter while we’re at it.”

And at Disney: “Let’s recycle our cartoon hits into live action. Then make them a musical. Then make them a musical cartoon.”

Sadly, that rehashed slop makes WAY more money than original films.
